How to upload new Avatars...

Well...How do I do it? I've tried already but it said it was either too big or didn't meat specifications, or something like that. It wasn't a "bad" picture or anything. It was a cat wearing a melon like a gladiator's helemt.

Probably it didn't meet one of these requirements:

File format (gif, jpeg, jpg, or png). Max. size - 5 Kb. Max. width - 85px; Max. height - 100px.

Admin

can you upload it so others can use it as well?

Done.

Thanks

How can I determine if a avatar meet the requirements? Do I need a special software?

no you just need to modify it so that it's small enough. You can change the percentage in MS paint until it's small enough

Ok - don't have MS paint - anything else?

not sure. Are you using a MAC? All Windows PC's come witha standard microsoft Paint. Did you check: start >>Prog>>accessories?

Ok thanks - how many bytes are in a kilobyte? Sorry - American with no knowledge of metric system!

Thanks again - seems like I did it. Any problems with trying out new avatars till u find one u like?

1024 Bytes is a kilobyte
So, although a metric "kilo" equals 1,000 (e.g. one kilogram = 1,000 grams), a binary "Kilo" equals 1,024 (e.g. one Kilobyte = 1,024 bytes). Not surprisingly, this has led to a great deal of confusion

Ok help - I did it once and I changed my avatar but it won't show on any of my posts? I think it's the right size cause I can see it in my settings but not on my posts!

I see it...you might not be able to though. I have the same problem. Looks like a nice dog

Okay - my new avatar has 2768 bytes so it should be okay? Did I do something wrong? Hello - Admin?

No - it the same dog but a different picture! I changed it after you taught me how and now the new picture won't show!

Well, I see a different avatar then before. A blackish dog w/ tilted head

I usually can't see changes for about 1 hr or so.....

Yes - there she is - I closed the window and reopened and it's here! Hej - thanks again!

Prosze

Not sure what you mean - I also see your avatar correctly (and previously there was a "smaller" dog). Try to press F5 on your keyboard or delete cookies.
